To avoid a repeat of the accident on the Bhor Ghat section of the old Mumbai-Pune highway that claimed 13 lives and left 29 injured last month, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has installed crash barriers and reflectors on the stretch.
 
A metal gantry or height barrier has been installed to prevent heavy vehicles from using the road while traffic police are present at the spot 24x7. On Monday, when this correspondent travelled along the stretch, in Raigad district, he discovered that crash barriers, reflectors and a height barrier had been installed along Bhor Ghat from the Khandala Ghat section to Khopoli village.
